There was never any doubt that an explosion occurred, but no missile debris was ever found. What does this imply?

If you do a little more reading, you'll discover the probable fate of your missing missile debris, but I would like to know where you got the notion that Sander's evidence was tampered with?

I did read it, some time ago. If you’ll recall, I even went over it with you step by step, along with about six or seven others.

Sander was not a qualified researcher, and he stole the parts he personally decided to analyze. This is called “contamination of a crash site” and “tampering with federal evidence”. This is also why he and his wife ended up in a federal jail.

Maybe you missed that part -- or are you saying that our trained professionals should be ignored and we should pay more attention to what convicted felons have to say about the case? Sorry, I don’t do that.

This, btw, is not “putting words in your mouth”, sp. That would be done if I were to purposely misquote you, and I have never done that with anyone. This is a simple question with aims at personal clarification. But you go right ahead and believe what you will.

You say missile evidence doesn't exist. Then when it is presented, you say there's too much, or it's no good, or it's been tampered with.

What you posted was a garbage page packed with links, most of which having little to no bearing on your missile claim. What you determine that I think to be “too much” is that you now want me to do your research for you.

Ain’t gonna happen.

In lieu of hard evidence, “It is clearly evident ...” = “I believe ...” = “I guess ...”.

I see plenty of guesswork and opinion, but no debris. Show me the missile. They have rebuilt the plane, but have found no fragments that could even remotely be declared as related to a missile that brought down flight 800.

I think it highly unlikely that impact with the ocean would produce the kind of damage we see on the starboard wing. As I mentioned, most - but certainly not all - of the shrapnel from an externally exploding missile would miss the plane, but some no doubt would hit it. One white-hot shard probably penetrated the CWT and ignited the fuel vapors which had been shocked into a mist by the explosion. Another piece probably penetrated the passenger compartment and left traces of its passage therein.

More guesswork and speculation, but still no debris. Show me one bit of this “white-hot shard” that has spot-welded itself to a piece of the aircraft -- the way missile debris actually does. Do you know that they are designed for a balanced detonation? For one bit of shrapnel to strike the plane and destroy it, and no other bit to touch it, is more fanciful speculation, which implies that this is not what happened.

Credible experts familiar with the Flight 800 disaster say that all the evidence supports the theory that a missile brought down the plane. Until I see data that supports a different theory, and lots of it, I can't find any reason to doubt that it was a missile or missiles which brought down the big jet, just as all the eyewitnesses have reported.

No. I read your posted pages some time ago, and the reports are that there is still a slight possibility of a missile strike and that it raises “a question”. Nothing more. And that the eyewitness accounts describe a missile is likely what the eyewitnesses wanted to believe. It is not their fault, but odds are they are wrong. There is no hard evidence to back their claims. It is also reported that some evidence implies a missile strike, where others do not. The fact remains there is no missile debris to support the theory. That means it’s a failing argument.

Yes, it is possible that a missile struck flight 800 and brought it down.

In the wake of the evidence shown thus far, it is also very unlikely that a missile struck flight 800. Regardless of what is believed, there remains no hard evidence to back the belief. All you’re doing is fanning someone else’s fire -- and it’s likely not much more than a plastic K-Mart Special fireplace.

Show me one missile fragment that has fused itself to a piece of flight 800, and I’ll back you to the wall with it -- but without that evidence, this is nothing more than a fictitious story.
